The following is what the editor of
the Logan Republican says of his visit
to our prosperous and booming city
last week:
An early start and a pleasant drive
through the sharp morning air
brought us to Colby in time for break
fast. Within an hour it seemed as
though we had been acquainted with
the hospitable business men of this
thriving city for years. With one &C
cord they contributed to the pleasure
of our visit; showing us over the town
and pointing out features of interest,
TWAS our pleasure to meet w. G.
Porter, editor of the Thomas county
Cat, who made us acquainted with DR..
Martin, president of the First Nation
al Bank, and a representative business
man. The doctor, in turn, presented
us to j. A. Gill, an affable gentleman
of the legal profession; also, J. B
McGonigal, an ideal real estate broker.
We succeeded Gin running down" the
Quill driver of the Democrat, C. R.
Marks, who enjoys "phat take" in
the way of proof notices. To mention
all of the gentlemen who accorded us
an unfeigned welcome in Colby would
require moro time than we have. How
ever they are all active, earnest bust
ness men, thoroughly imbued with the
aggressive spirit of their city.
Colby certainly has bright future,
and will eventually make one of the
best cities in the west. Many hand
some brick business houses have been
built within the past year, and are
now in course of erection, the best of
which is the Newell House-an ele-
giant four-story hotel, costing when
completed about $50, 900. The country
adjacent is beautiful andulating
plain, comparatively well settled; and
the farm improvements are excep-
tional.
1t was with feeling of sincere re-
greet that we turned our backs upon
the pretty town, for the homeward
journey.

DIR. Eggleston contributes 10 the April
Century an Illustrated paper ON Church
and Meeting House before the Revolution"
in which he saws: In Connecticut, per
haps more than anywhere else, Sunday was
a sort Of popular idol nor did the rigor of
its observance abate perceptibly until long
after the Revolution. This extreme scrup-
ulosity about Sabbath keeping was doubt
less the moving cause Of the building of the
sabbath day houses these were little
shanties standing ON tn meeting house
green, each intended 10 accommodate a
family in the interval between the two ser
vices Some Sabbath-day houses were built
with IA stall at one end 10 shelter the horse,
while the family took refuge in the other,
where there was "A chimney aud meuger
furniture Of rude seats and table. Here
ON arrival before the first services the own
ers lighted fire and deposited their lunch
con, and to this camp-like place they came
back TO eat their duughnuts and thaw them
selves ont after their first long sitting in
the arctic cline of the meeting house
Sometimes two families had Sabbath day
house together sometimes there were two
rooms in Sabbath day house that the sex
es might sit apart-lor nothing so agreea-
BILE as social converse between boys and
girls was permitted during the consecrated
time But some parishes in Massachusetts,
and perhaps elsewhere, had common
noon house for all corners 10 rest in. Fire
side assemblages ON Sunday, whether in the
parsonage or the noon house. were in dan
ger Of proving delightful to those who were
prone to enjoy the society Of other human
beings, and hence the pastors were put
upon their best cOntrivanccs, to have most
of the interval between the services filled
up with the reading aloud Of edifying books
and other exercises calculated to keep the
mind in a becnminglv ink .nme frame

We Have Heard Arguments II Good
Deal Like This in Our Own Day.

Many years ago the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company proposed to build a road
from Wheeling 10 Baltimore through the
southwestern counties of Pennsylvania.
The project aroused opposition among the
buculic gentlemen distributed along the pro
posed line as vehement rs that with which
our fathers met the tyrannous acts Of Eng
land So furious did ii become that the
company were compelled to abandon the
proposed route for the present far less ia
vorable one through Virginia Though per
maps none Of them had ever seen a railroad,
they possessed the idea that evils innumer-
able would follow in its train They urged
that it would destroy the market for horses,
the raising Of which they were largely en-
guged in the lives Of the nomadic cows
and hogs would be perpetually in danger,
and society corrupted from its rural purity.
\ kind Of Indignation meeting was held at
the country store of which one speaker,
after descanting on these evils, capped his
climax as follows: Il tell We what it'll
never do TO hev railroad through this yere

ANOTHER SALOON MURDER.
4 Temperance Worker shot Down in
Broad Daylight ut HnVerhilI, Ohio.

\ saloon murder was perpetrated at
lIayerhill. Ohio. last week, which was more
brutal and cold blooded and was done more
openly than the Haddock murder at Sioux
City, Iowa The difference is that the PEG
pie of the Ohio community were at once up
in arms to punish the crime. The four
murderers were promptly arrested, and
there was very lively talk Of lynching them
"a healthy contrast to the attitude of Sioux
City, where the entire force Of the local
government and the great weight of public
opinion united to save the murderer of Had
dock from punishment-and succeeded.
The antecedent circumstances and the mo-
tive in the two cases We're identical. The
McCoys were the political bosses of Haver
hill. Tom kept saloon, his brother was
postmaster, and had two sons 20 and 10
years old The family prosperity was
founded upon Tom McCoy's saloon, that
is, upon the weakness and vice of the com
munity-but he was So powerful that no
one dared interfere with his traffic until
DIR, W. I. Northrup, n prohbitionlst, moved
to the town five years ago. Northrup work
ed for local option and so affected the poll
tics of the town us to incur the bitter hos
tility of the McCoys. Things reached such
IA pass that DR., Northrup went armed But
last Wednesday he omitted this precaution
The McCoys learned of it, lay in wait for
him and opened fire as Northrup was going
to the village post Office in broad daylight
The postmaster ran out and headed North
rup off from the shelter of the office, and
three others opened fire with shotguns from
Tom McCoy's house. After he was wound
ed, NoIthrup tried to fight his way into the
post-otlice, and in doing so fatally wounded
the resisting postmaster with his pocket
knife Then one of the postmasters sons
ram out and fired both barrels of his shot
gun into Northrup's breast, tearing out his
heart. The arrests were not made by the
local constabulary, but by the agent of n
detective agency who happened to be in the
village, 1t is not surprising to learn that
the saloon-keepers of the region stand by
the McCoys and hold that Tom had been
prosecuted" by Northrup, but apparently
they are in minority.
